    He was actually a serious contender for President in 1992.

    I think one of his worst comments was when he suggested the US covertly assassinate Hugo Chavez. That could have had serious repercussions for US foreign policy, but I think by then people knew not to take him seriously.

Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

      I didn't know about any of that actually.

          "blessed"
          The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

              I have a vague suspicion that every one in the thread is aware of his switch to Deism. Your failure to realize that I was referring to his turn away from atheism as a blessing. Your common inability to understand what people are actually saying and responding in weird ways suggests that senility might be better attributed to you than to Flew.
              Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

                I simply clarified his current view.

                  He does not propose anything now, being that he has been dead for five years.

                      OK. I did not know he was deceased.
